16 He saw that there was no one,was appalled that there was none to intervene;Then his own arm brought about the victory,and his justice sustained him.
17 He put on justice as his breastplate,victory as a helmet on his head;He clothed himself with garments of vengeance,wrapped himself in a mantle of zeal.
18 According to their deeds he repays his enemiesand requites his foes with wrath;to the coastlands he renders recompense.
19 Those in the west shall fear the name of the Lord,and those in the east, his glory,Coming like a pent-up streamdriven on by the breath of the Lord.
20 Then for Zion shall come a redeemer,to those in Jacob who turn from transgression—oracle of the Lord.
21 This is my covenant with them,which I myself have made, says the Lord:My spirit which is upon youand my words that I have put in your mouthShall not depart from your mouth,nor from the mouths of your childrenNor the mouths of your children’s childrenfrom this time forth and forever, says the Lord.
